Ep 40: A look back at the hard, the human and the unexpected of 2025 with Jo Dobson and Rick Watson
This episode is a little different. Jo and I sat down on the couch at the end of a massive year - no script, no structure, just two humans reflecting on what 2025 actually felt like.
What unfolded was honest, imperfect and surprisingly satisfying.
Together we explore:
The truth of hitting an end-of-year energy wall
Why we skipped recording earlier this week and chose connection over content
The “real” version of burnout- the kind that comes from misalignment, not overwork
What our podcasts, groups and therapy training taught us about storytelling and connection
The quiet gifts this year gave us: imperfection, belonging and resonance
The moments, people and conversations that touched us in unexpected ways
What we’re dreaming into for next year and what we’re learning to let be
If you’re craving a slower, more spacious take on end-of-year reflection, one that isn’t all highlight reels and forced positivity, this might be the episode you listen to on a walk or with a cup of tea.
It’s a conversation about being human… thanks for coming along for the ride.
